Subject: [RFC] Running a hook on reset
Date: Sun, 1 Sep 2013 14:17:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130901121711.GC5695@awork2.anarazel.de> (raw)
Hi,
I propose adding a hook that is run after git reset.
My personal use case for that is that I am indexing my checkouts using
global (a tool similar to ctags, cscope, ...) and I really like that
index to be up2date all the time. I can catch most cases where the work
tree changes from git via the post-checkout, post-merge, post-rewrite
hooks. The only frequent case I don't know how to trigger a reindex is
git reset --hard.
Another related usecases I can imagine is people wanting to check that
there is nothing important/irrecoverable in the current checkout before
resetting it, but that would obviously be a pre-reset hook.
Any opinions about the feature before I start writing a patch?
Greetings,
Andres Freund
